I think we might have missed something.
Not something new.
Something that's been sitting in front of us for years.
A few months ago, a man called Peter joined the group. His sister went missing, and he's been trying to piece together what happened to her alongside the rest of us.
He's very good with computers and offered to organise all our old records.
I didn't realise quite how much information we'd collected.
Hundreds of emails. Photographs. Notes from meetings. Copies of letters.
Peter has been putting everything into one timeline.
Last week he asked us to look at something.
Several of the missing people had mentioned appointments or interviews shortly before they disappeared.
That wasn't new.
What was new was the wording.
Daniel had told Sarah he was attending a meeting about "an opportunity I can't discuss yet".
Peter's sister had written almost exactly the same thing in an email.
Another missing person had used the phrase "confidential opportunity".
Three people. Different employers on paper, but descriptions of opportunities that sound remarkably similar.
So we have Urbesc Construction, a possible link between our missing relatives. Site 42: A mysterious location that keeps appearing in connection with our missing relatives. And an “opportunity” that couldn’t be discussed.
Peter thinks there could have been some kind of recruitment programme.
Martin, who has started attending meetings again, thinks it was an experiment.
Sarah thinks we need to see if any other relatives can find a link to this mysterious opportunity.
I agree with Sarah, but I can't stop thinking about those messages we already have.
What kind of opportunity would make somebody disappear without telling their family where they were going?
And why would they all be so secretive about it?
